This is a short story that follows and focuses on Bella before she met Cleo and Rikki. This is a prequel (meaning her backstory) life growing up in her hometown and how she dealt with being the "only mermaid" this short story will show all the chall...
I'm taking Bella to the airport today. And we're on our way. Bella's flight leaves in an hour. But we're not alone Amelia came with us. We are waiting for her to board the plane we're in the waiting area. Bella's sitting in the middle between us.
Amelia-" so this is it."
Bella-" yeah I guess it is"
Amelia-"and you're going to call me still right?"
Bella-" duh obviously you're my best friend"
Amelia-" oh and Bella this suitcase is for you. And it's full of designer outfits that my mom hasn't released yet, yellow dresses, tank tops, shorts. I mean really anything you can think of it's all in there."
Bella-" thank you"
Ronan-" Bella I need to talk to you for a second alone let's go sit over there."
Bella-" okay. Amelia I'll be right back."
Bella:
The two of us sit down, where no one is sitting.
Ronan-" I know our time was cut short. I'll cherish it all you're going to go to the Gold Coast you're going to start a new life. Everything's gonna be OK. You might make some new friends but I don't think you'll ever replace us."
Bella- " no one could replace you guys"
Ronan-" so tell me what is it going to be like being there do you know?"
Bella-" yeah actually I do know a few things. My dorm is near campus. I have it to myself so I guess that's a plus. It's mostly sunny there. There's a café nearby I think it's called juice net café. I plan on performing singing there when I arrive. I've already got a performance set up. They're gonna let me sing the night I get there."
Ronan-" I know you'll do great things. Bella I actually made you some thing. In the cave that you were in I found a piece of rock it's blue. I thought it was pretty. I made it into a necklace for you. It'll suit your eyes really well, here."
Ronan pulls out a beautiful necklace from his pocket. I turned around and he pulls my hair out of the way and he puts it around my neck.
Bella-" it's beautiful thank you"
Ronan-" now you'll always have a part of me with you."
I begin to to cry I can feel the tears flooding my face. My voice is very shaky when I say.

Bella-" I don't want to leave you"
Ronan-" I know you don't"
I press my head up against his when we kiss one last time before I board the plane.
Bella-" I love you"
Ronan-" I love you too. I'll see you again. I know it. For now our story must come to an end. Even though this isn't the way I pictured it every second one's worth it. I'll always reminisce on all the memories that we had together.
I'll never forget you, Bella. I know it's hard now. Goodbyes always are, but they're not always forever maybe in another universe. Things would've happened differently. But for now this is a goodbye. Goodbye, Bella."
Bella-" goodbye Ronan"
I get up out of my seat. Amelia is leaned up against the wall from a far I think she witnessed the whole conversation that we just had rather she could hear it or not. She was there watching me she runs up to me and jumps into my arms and hugs me we both started sobbing immediately.
Amelia-" i'm gonna miss you Bella"
Bella-" I'm gonna miss you too"
Amelia-" I guess this is it."
Ronan walks over to us. The three of us lean into a group hug. And as I board the plane, I look back at the both of them. They are both waving at me.
As the airplane takes off. I look out the window. I'll never know what my parents would say to me if they were actually decent and stuck around to say goodbye to me at the airport.
None of my brother showed up either to say goodbye. But both of my friends did. And the guy that I even saw as more the a friend. Sometimes things don't always work out the way you want them to, but everything happens for a reason.
It's time for a new chapter of my life.
When the plane lands, I take all of my luggage to my dorm room, and decide to wander the beaches of Australia.
[Journal entry]
Today is my first day here living at Gold Coast Australia. But something did happen today but first I'm really excited to perform at "The Juice Net Café" later on today. But something strange on the beach happened earlier today. Maybe something magical? I can't seem to stop thinking about it.
I see two girls talking on the beach they look about my age. I got cat called and a swirl of water hits a boy into a tornado like motion. It didn't seem natural like water doesn't just do that.
What I'm about to write down is going to seem crazy.. and it seems weird. It's almost like..maybe? No I think that's a bit far-fetched.. but I can't help wonder what if.. they are like me.
